Hi Michael,

 RH> Wonder if that's the norm or more common to like the way eggs were
 RH> cooked when you were young. Some time when I've nothing else to do, I
 RH> can research it.

 ML> On the rare occasions when I actually fix eggs, the product
 ML> is as soft as I can manage. As to whether the norm is to
 ML> rebel or to conform, I figure it's probably in proportion to
 ML> the way people do so in other contexts.

Probably, if you tend to rebel against the way you were brought up
(regarding eating), you would cook your eggs differently than the way
your mom did. If, on the other hand, your mom was a good, creative cook
and you liked what she cooked, you might not be a rebel & cook the way
she did. Steve and I do not eat the way we (me, more so) brought up and
enjoy a wider variety of foods. I cook my eggs basically completly
opposite of how my mom did.


 RH> "Eggs, cooked light and fluffy........." to quote from a Veggie Tales
 RH> episode....................

 ML> I am unaware of this Veggie Tales thing. Tell me?


Bob the Tomato and Larry-boy, a cucumber, host (on a kitchen counter)
Bible stories as performed by veggies like the French Peas, Junior
Asparagus, Laura the Carrot and others. There are some non bible based
stories but they have a strong biblically based message. Most of the
half hour or so stories have a shorter feature before the; they all have
an intermission with a silly song and end with a note from the computer,
Qwwerty. They've been around for close to 20 years now. Catchy songs,
lots of puns & bad jokes--good clean fun for kids and adults. Google
Veggie Tales and Big Idea Productions. The line I quoted above came from
the "King George and the Ducky" show, the short before the story.

 ML> leach straightaway into the water.
 RH> We steam them, eat them raw or or wilted.

 ML> Can you steam them in a grid over your boiling pasta
 ML> water, saving energy without soaking the veggies in
 ML> lots of water?


It would make stirring the pasta a bit trickier. (G)


Steve went to a conference this week out in Louisville, KY--just got
back this evening. He told me to decide before he got back where I
wanted to go out to eat so I thought of one place we'd passed by fairly
often, kept saying we were going to give it a try. One of my fellow
students said it was very authentic (native of the country) so we went
to the Seoul Garden. I usually try the beef bulgogi first; itf that's
not good, then I don't think the place is good over all. Here it was
very tender, almost falling apart. Nine different small sides were put
out, later a 10th one was added. Steve had a squid thing similar to
something he'd had in Korea. The wait staff, even tho their English
wasn't too great, helped him figure out what to order. He said, except
for having the udon noodles instead of rice, it was very true to what he
remembered, but maybe not quite as spicy hot. We plan to return; Steve
wants to come back for his birthday (in October) but we may take some
friends before then. If 2 or more of the party want to, you can do a
cook it yourself meal (or have wait staff do it for you) but we just
ordered off the regular menu. We both were very well filled up with our
meals.

Catch you later,
